I've used both extensively in shop and race support situations. IMHO, the Campagnolo wrench is easier on the hand than the Park item. Both fit the nut fine. The Park wrench works fine and saves some $$, but I definitely prefer the original peanut butter wrench from Italy. It is still "king" for adjusting 15mm hub nuts, IMHO.
